Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival: Celebrities Show their Best of Physique
Coachella 2015 has become the favourite place of
celebrities to present their best fit bodies on the show. The 2015 Coachella
Valley Music and Arts Festival kicked off April 10, and the celebrities came out
to play, working their easiest, breeziest fashions. A-listers like Kendall
Jenner, Bella Thorne, and Julianne Hough wore to the style-savvy fest! The
annual two-weekend, three-day music and arts festival is held at the Empire Polo
Club in Indio, California, located in the Inland Empire�s Coachella Valley in
the Colorado Desert. It was founded by Paul Tollett in 1999 and is organized by
Goldenvoice, a subsidiary of AEG Live. The event features many genres of music,
including rock, indie, hip hop, and electronic dance music, as well as art
installations and sculptures. Across the grounds, several stages continuously
host live music.
The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival (commonly referred to as Coachella
or the Coachella Festival) is an annual music and arts festival held at the
Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, located in the Inland Empire's Coachella
Valley in the Colorado Desert. It was founded by Paul Tollett in 1999 and is
organized by Goldenvoice, a subsidiary of AEG Live. The event features many
genres of music, including rock, indie, hip hop, and electronic dance music, as
well as art installations and sculptures. Across the grounds, several stages
continuously host live music. The main stages are: Coachella Stage, Outdoor
Theatre, Gobi Tent, Mojave Tent, and the Sahara Tent; a smaller Oasis Dome was
used in 2006 and 2011, while a new Yuma stage was introduced in 2013.
The festival's origins trace back to a 1993 concert that Pearl Jam performed at
the Empire Polo Club while boycotting venues controlled by Ticketmaster. The
show validated the site's viability for hosting large events, leading to the
inaugural Coachella Festival being held in October 1999 over two days, just
three months after the disastrous Woodstock '99. After no event was held in
2000, Coachella returned on an annual basis beginning in April 2001 as a
single-day event. In 2002, the festival reverted to a two-day format. Coachella
was expanded to a third day in 2007 and eventually a second weekend in 2012; it
is currently held on consecutive three-day weekends in April, with each weekend
having identical lineups. Organizers began permitting spectators to camp on the
grounds in 2003, one of several expansions and additions of amenities that have
been made in the festival's history.
Coachella showcases popular and established musical artists, as well as emerging
artists and reunited groups. Notable appearances in the past include: AC/DC, Amy
Winehouse, Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg, Prince, Paul McCartney, Arcade Fire, Wu-Tang
Clan, The Killers, Of Monsters and Men, Radiohead, Daft Punk, Madonna, The Cure,
Kanye West, Eminem, Gorillaz, The Black Keys, Rage Against the Machine, Beck,
Nine Inch Nails, The Strokes, The White Stripes, Jay-Z, Beastie Boys, Muse, Red
Hot Chili Peppers, and Foo Fighters. Coachella is one of the largest, most
famous, and most profitable music festivals in the United States. In 2014, the
festival tallied an aggregate attendance of 579,000 over six days and grossed a
record-breaking $78.3 million.
On November 5, 1993, Pearl Jam performed before almost 25,000 fans at the Empire
Polo Club, a 78-acre site in Indio, California that had previously never hosted
a music festival.[4] Although the band's management chose the fledgling site as
part of a boycott of Ticketmaster and the Southern California auditoriums it
controlled, the event established the polo club's suitability for large-scale
events. Paul Tollett, who was involved in finding the venue for Pearl Jam, said
the concert sowed the seeds for an eventual music festival there: "It was a
really great show. Really crazy. So we wanted to do a festival five or six years
later, and looked at a bunch of different places. But then we thought 'Why not
go back out there?''
Six years later, on October 9�10, 1999, the inaugural Coachella Valley Music and
Arts Festival was held, courtesy of concert promoters Goldenvoice. Headlining
acts included Beck, The Chemical Brothers, Tool, Morrissey, and Rage Against the
Machine; other acts included Jurassic 5, DJ Mike Hawk, and Underworld.
Originally, promoters had hoped to make the event three days (Friday-Sunday) and
even considered the UK band Massive Attack as the third-day headliner. Due to
the fires and riots at Woodstock '99 three months earlier, Coachella promoters
were not allowed to offer on-site camping, a ban that continued until 2002. The
organizers strived to recreate European music festivals with small crowds in a
great setting with plenty of turntables. By booking acts based on artistry
rather than radio popularity, Coachella earned the title of "the
anti-Woodstock".
Tickets sold for $50 for each day; about 17,000 tickets sold for the first day,
and 20,000 for the second, falling short of the overall attendance goal of
70,000. Attendees were offered free parking and a free bottle of water upon
entrance. The event went smoothly, with the well-behaved crowd starkly
contrasting with the violence that plagued Woodstock '99; the biggest challenges
to Coachella concertgoers were temperatures exceeding 100�F and the decisions of
which of the 80-plus acts to attend. However, Goldenvoice lost $800,000 on the
undertaking, with prominent bands like Rage Against the Machine, Tool, and Beck
agreeing to delayed compensation. Tollett was forced to sell Goldenvoice,
eventually agreeing to be acquired by Anschutz Entertainment Group (AEG) in
March 2001 for $7 million. Tollett initially retained full control of Coachella,
but now shares ownership evenly with AEG.
In 2001, Goldenvoice moved the festival to the month of April in an attempt to
beat the heat and scheduled a single day. Ticket prices were raised to $65.
Organizers encountered difficulty booking acts for the festival. Months before
the event, promoters did not have a headline act and the festival risked
failure. Promoters turned to Perry Farrell, who brought the reunited Jane's
Addiction to the project.
In 2002, the event returned to a two-day format, featuring the reunited Siouxsie
and the Banshees, as well as headlining acts Bj�rk and Oasis.The strong
supporting acts helped prove to the Indio community that the event could bring
in money and take place without conflict.
On January 6, 2015 Coachella announced the official lineup for their 2015
festival. Headliners include AC/DC, Drake, and Jack White. Other notable
performers include Florence and the Machine, Kaskade, Alesso, The Weeknd, Tame
Impala, Interpol, Steely Dan, Alabama Shakes, alt-J, and Ryan Adams. The 2015
festival will be held on April 10�12 and April 17�19. General admission tickets
again sold out in less than 20 minutes.
The other half of the festival is dedicated to visual arts, including
installation art and sculpture. Most of the pieces are interactive, providing a
visual treat to the attendees walking amongst the festival grounds. Some of the
works were featured at Burnisel and involves participants from architecture
schools, both local and international. A few of the visual artists, such as
Hotshot the Robot, Robochrist Industries, the Tesla Coil (Cauac), Cyclecide, and
The Do LaB, alongside avant-garde performance troupe Lucent Dossier Experience,
have appeared for several consecutive years. Poster artist Emek has produced
limited edition posters every year since 2007.
The festival takes place in a desert setting as the city of Indio is a part of
the Colorado Desert. Temperatures during the festival's history have ranged from
124 �F (51 �C) on October 9, 1999 to 41 �F (5 �C) on April 14, 2012.
In 2003, Coachella started allowing tent camping as an option for festival
lodging. The campground site is on a polo field adjacent to the venue grounds
and has its own entrance on the south side of the venue. 2010 introduced many
new features, such as re-entry from the campsite to the festival grounds,
parking next to your tent, and recreational vehicle camping spots (recreational
vehicle camping was offered one year only). For that festival, there were more
than 17,000 campers. At the 2012 event, on-site facilities included recycling, a
general store, showers, mobile phone charging stations and an internet cafe with
free WiFi.
Organizers of the Coachella festival manage its carbon footprint by involving
employees and attendees. The festival organizers promote carpooling and reward
people who participate: cars with four or more people that display the word "carpoolchella"
somewhere on their car may be selected by a secret spotter to win VIP
tickets/pass for life for everyone in the car. In 2007, Coachella teamed up with
Global Inheritance to start a 10 for 1 recycling program, in which anyone who
collects ten empty water bottles receives a free full one. In 2009, the festival
introduced $10 refillable water bottles, which purchasers could refill at water
stations inside the festival and within the campgrounds.
According to the Los Angeles Times, booking fees for most artists playing the
festival allegedly start at $15,000 and extend into the "high six figures";
top-billed artists for 2010 were expected to be paid over $1 million.[48]
Billboard 's sources estimate that non-headline acts can earn anywhere from
$500 to $100,000. In booking the festival, Goldenvoice uses radius clauses that
can prevent acts from performing in Los Angeles, the Inland Empire, or San Diego
for up to three months before and after the festival. The promoter has allowed
some of Coachella's acts to make appearances in the region prior to the festival
and between weekends, but only at events and venues owned or controlled by
Goldenvoice's parent company Anschutz Entertainment Group; one such example was
Jay-Z's concert at Staples Center in 2010. Goldenvoice now promotes these
events, dubbed "Localchella", as a series of small warm-up shows for Coachella
in Southern California.
Since 2011, YouTube has live streamed the opening weekend of Coachella. Viewers
can choose from three channels of performances to watch. Since 2014, AXS TV has
been broadcasting the second weekend on television; over 20 hours of live
performances from the 2015 festival will be broadcast on AXS TV. Performances
from the 2015 festival will also be broadcast live on SiriusXM satellite radio
for the first time.
The success of Coachella has led its organizers to partner with other American
music festivals. In September 2014, Goldenvoice announced it had entered into a
joint venture with Red Frog Events to help them promote and produce their
Firefly Music Festival. In January 2015, a similar agreement was reached with
the organizers of the Hangout Music Festival.
Clothing retailer H&M unveiled a clothing line inspired by the festival in 2015
called "H&M Loves Coachella". The success of Coachella in its early years proved
music festivals could work and succeed in a destination form, as opposed to a
traveling festival. The year of Coachella's debut was also the year of Woodstock
'99, which was marred by riots, fires, and rapes, turning many people off music
festivals. In the years following Coachella's success, many other festivals have
followed in its footsteps, copying its format as a destination festival with
multiple stages, attractions, art, and camping. Some of these new festivals have
grown to achieve the same success as Coachella, such as Lollapalooza in Chicago,
Governors Ball in New York City and Bonnaroo in Tennessee. According to a 2015
ranking by online ticket retailer viagogo, Coachella was the second-most
in-demand concert ticket, trailing only the Tomorrowland festival.
According to a 2012 economic impact study, Coachella brought $254.4 million to
the desert region that year, of that total, Indio received $89.2 million in
consumer spending and $1.4 million in tax revenue. In 2007, Goldenvoice
inaugurated the Stagecoach Festival, an annual country music festival that takes
place on the same grounds as Coachella the following weekend. Seen as a "cousin"
of Coachella, Stagecoach has grown at a faster pace, eventually selling out for
the first time in 2012 with 55,000 attendees.
Coachella Festival over the years has become the place for celebrities and fans
to show their best of physique and latest trends in fashion. Women Fitness
brings the few chosen celebrities who were talk of the festival.

Paris Hilton
 Paris Whitney Hilton is an American heiress, socialite, television personality,
businesswoman, fashion designer, entrepreneur, model, actress, producer, author
and singer. She is the great-granddaughter of Conrad Hilton, the founder of
Hilton Hotels. Born in New York City and raised in both California and New York,
Hilton began a modelling career as a teenager when she signed with Donald
Trump's modelling agency, T Management. Her hard-partying lifestyle and rumoured
short-lived relationships with Leonardo DiCaprio and Oscar de la Hoya led her to
earn a position as a fixture in entertainment news. For her notoriety as a
socialite, Hilton was hailed by the media as "New York's leading It Girl" in
2001.
Hilton gained significant notoriety for a sex tape, which was released shortly
before the premiere of the reality series The Simple Life , which was a huge
success and brought Hilton and co-star Nicole Richie to an international
recognition. Hilton then released her 2004 autobiography Confessions of an
Heiress: A Tongue-in-Chic Peek Behind the Pose, landed a supporting role in the
2005 horror film House of Wax, and recorded the 2006 music album Paris. She
later starred in the series Paris Hilton's My New BFF and its two spin-offs,
Paris Hilton's British Best Friend and Paris Hilton's Dubai BFF. Hilton has
since done a voice role in the TV movie The Dog Who Saved Christmas Vacation and
appeared in the reality show The World According to Paris . She recently
appeared in Sofia Coppola's The Bling Ring.
She has appeared in several lists compiled by magazines such as Maxim, FHM as
well as Stuff. She is also regularly placed on lists composed by Forbes magazine
and was named one of the "100 Hottest Women of All-Time" by Men's Health.
Critics also suggest that Hilton epitomizes the title of famous for being
famous; she is an example of the modern phenomenon of the "celebutante", the
celebrity who rises to fame not because of their talent or work but because of
their inherited wealth and controversial lifestyle. In recent years, she has
parlayed her media fame into a fashion line and various perfumes with her
celebrity endorsement � her fragrances have reportedly earned $1.5 billion.
Currently, there are 44 Paris Hilton Stores worldwide and her brand includes
perfumes, handbags, watches, footwear, among other products. Hilton earns over
$10 million a year from her products sales and as of 2005 she was paid $300,000
for appearances in clubs and events.
Her fresh attempt at a chart-topper features American rapper Lil Wayne, whose
label she is signed to. While Paris has been engaged twice, first in 2002 to
model Jason Shaw, then again in 2005 to Greek shipping heir Paris Latsis, both
were broken off and she now says she couldn't be happier with River, who at 22
is ten years her junior.

of Dirty Sexy Money (as Margaux Darling). In 2007 Thorne appeared as a young
girl plagued by supernatural visions in The Seer.
In 2008, Thorne starred alongside Christian Slater and Taylor Lautner in the
short-lived drama series My Own Worst Enemy, for which she won a Young Artist's
Award for her portrayal of the character Ruthy Spivey; Thorne described her
Enemy casting as a major breakthrough as this was the first recurring role in
her career. She then appeared in the ten-episode web series Little Monk, which
depicted characters from the series Monk as children. In 2009, she filled the
role of the vengeful antagonist in the horror film Forget Me Not.
In 2010, Thorne joined the cast of HBO's Big Love in its fourth season,

Fitness videos: Dance With Julianne: Cardio Ballroom (2009), Dance with
Julianne: Just Dance! (2010) Man, it doesn't get much more girl-next-door than
Julianne Hough. The country singer and two-time Dancing With The Stars winner
just glows with cheer, giddiness, and all that silly sweet shit. Even though we
got a lot of love for Hough, we have to admit that her workout DVDs are kind of
a fail. We can't imagine too many couch potatoes keeping up with her movies
without breaking their necks.
In June 2012, Hough told AOL's The Boot that her second album was "completely
done" and that she was initially "really, really looking forward to the record."
However, she also stated that, due to the underperforming lead single and having
"a lot of momentum" in her film career, there are no plans to release Wildfire.
She does intend to resume focusing on her music career at some point, though: "I
feel like when I have the time to focus on it, and when I feel like it is the
right time, I'll return to my music," she said Hough's first acting job was in
2001's Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (released as Harry Potter and
the Sorcerer's Stone in the U.S.), the film adaptation of British author J. K.
Rowling's bestselling novel. She appeared in an uncredited role as a "Hogwarts
schoolgirl".
Hough appears in the 2010 musical Burlesque, starring Cher and Christina
Aguilera. In the film, which chronicles a small-town girl (Aguilera) who finds
success at a Los Angeles burlesque club. Hough plays a dancer named Georgia.
Hough's first leading role was as Ariel Moore in the 2011 remake of the
Paramount film Footloose, opposite Kenny Wormald as Ren McCormack. Filming began
in September 2010.

months after giving birth to her first child, and opened the show the following
year in 2009. The 2011 show saw her wearing the heaviest wings (30 lb) ever made
for the show. In 2012, Ambrosio was chosen to wear the "Fantasy Bra". The Floral
Fantasy Bra, created by London Jewelers, features amethysts, rubies, sapphires
and diamonds (including a 20-carat white diamond in the center), all set in rose
and yellow gold, according to InStyle. There's also a matching belt adorned with
more than 5,200 precious stones.

I Met Your Mother (episode: "The Yips") on November 26, 2007 with her fellow
Victoria's Secret Angels Adriana Lima, Selita Ebanks, Marisa Miller, Miranda
Kerr, and Heidi Klum.
She is often cited by the popular media as one of the world's sexiest women. As
an Angel, she was chosen as one of People magazine's annual "100 Most Beautiful
People in the World" in May 2007. Ambrosio has been engaged to businessman Jamie
Mazur since 2008. The couple have two children: daughter Anja Louise Ambrosio
Mazur and son Noah Phoenix Ambrosio Mazur. She is the National Ambassador for
the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. Alessandra Ambrosio said �80 percent of
the time I'm on some beautiful island in a bikini. But I'm working and everybody
else is on their honeymoon!�.
Whether she�s dressed up in candy or just being altogether angelic, the very
spicy Alessandra Ambrosio is easily among the modeling world�s most beautiful
women. A regular on the annual list of the AskMen Top 99 Most Desirable Women,
she�s also one of the highest-paid ladies in the industry as well. Perhaps most
familiar to men as a resident Victoria�s Secret Angel since 2004, she�s also
graced the cover of countless magazines, while making memorable stops in movies
(Casino Royale) and television (Entourage and How I Met Your Mother). Besides
adding credence to the theory started by Gisele Bundchen that only undiscovered
supermodels live in Brazil, Ambrosio is now a proud member of the Unofficial
MILF Modeling Club where she�s proudly flaunting off her post-baby shape to
eager industry observers and her many male admirers around the world.
Coachella 2015 has provided an opportunity to celebrities to showcase their
perfect fit bodies.
